A simple, but effective list of rules and guidelines that are enforced by the ‘ReddicaPoliceDepartment’ or, ‘RPD’. The establishment of the RPD is to protect and serve the population or Reddica and enforce the laws placed upon it.

Punishment for breaking a ReddicaLaw is upheld and enforced by the ‘RPD’. The ‘RPD’s’ jurisdiction is ‘Reddica’. The ‘RPD’ are granted powers of interrogation, and as such, will have ‘mod-level rights’. Upon arrest, detention, or interrogation, the ‘RPD’ have the power to suspend, or ‘Banish’ users, as per the constitution, from ‘Reddica’ for any 24 period. The ‘RPD’ have the right to information if it’s directly linked to an active case or in the event the ‘RPD’ present ‘Probable cause’. In the event there is no court of ReddicaLaw to convict the accused, it falls upon ‘RPD’ to either hold the convict in detention for any amount of time deemed reasonable, or convict if they can prove the crime ‘Beyond reasonable doubt’.

The ‘RPD’ are directed by the role of CHIEF of POLICE, or ‘COP’. The role of COP is a position within the ‘RPD’ that is voted for by members of the government.

The ‘COP’ reports directly into the most senior minister in government. A vote for ‘COP’ is automatically taken every [xx]. Any member of public may apply for the position of POLICE GRADUATE. The ‘COP’ is responsible for managing this process and has the executive authority on decisions made regarding the hiring or firing of these positions.

"And yet nowhere in the bill is this stated, and that's what matters. You do say a 24 hour period, but that's only if there's a court. Since you don't even set up a court (and if there is no court when voting on this ends) you give this RPD the power to ban people indefinitely."notcaffeinefree

"It's an interesting idea. I'm not sure we have the resources for this kind of undertaking though."CinemaParadiso

"I believe such an account should not have formal Reddit moderator privileges but in stead announce the arrest to a "Minister of Police" (or Justice, or whatever the position is called) who then dishes out the formal sentence without interfering."MrNotSoSure

"I cannot support the bill in its present form. It gives the police too much power by allowing them to indefinitely detain a convict (How does one become a "convict?") and grants them access to any information that is even "directly linked to an active case" or they have "probable cause" for. It references a court without clearly addressing how such a court would be set up."Ben347

Comments that do support the bill as written:

Hurstkovitch - the author of the bill.

I do not feel that this concept is without merit, but the way it is presented is not democratic.

Voters! While you may not have listened to ReddicaPolitician in the past, listen to him now! He has the right of it! This bill as written is terrible and a disgrace to our founding principles. It paves the road towards injustices and corrupt government, as the police has the power to ban people (dissenters?) indefinitely.

This bill is similar (in a way) to our current ReddicaCommittee and, given the recent occurrences, I urge you to vote no on any bills that give users more power than others, at least until we get the current positions of power sorted out.
